That's what leadership is all about. Either you're a leader or you're not. Obama, thus far, is an appeaser, not a leader. Politics is a dirty business. If you show signs of weakness, you get trampled. Don't blame it on the "far right," blame it on your fearless leader not doing any leading.
I agree with this. Obama, if he is to achieve the Democratic Party's goals (some of which I agree with and some of which I don't agree with), then he needs to take the issues and champion them as any leader should. He needs to kick his party in the rear and say this what we're going to do.
The Republican Party's role is to ask the tough questions Obama won't ask himself and/or his party won't ask him. The Republicans do not, and should not, roll over for him. They have asked good questions that I want answered. I don't agree with the Republican Party at all times but a good question is a good question.
If Obama fails to get re-elected in 2012 that would be his fault.
This is the nature of our government. Granted, rabid, foaming at the mouth opposition is unnecessary and absurd but that type of opposition represents a fraction of Obama's opposition. There are reasoned arguments against what he is doing that must be addressed. He (if he hasn't already) and his supporters will just have to accept that fact. Obama should not assume that his win was a free pass on everything and even if that were the case - passes can be revoked at any time.
You know it doesn't hurt to use your mind once in a while. Try it. You both might like it.
You know, it doesn't hurt to give people the benefit of a doubt once in a while. Try it, you might be a better person if you were not so quick to assume.
At the minimum he will be a one term president. I'm not convinced either way yet if he will be impeached (after 2010) but he may. The ACORN corruption scandal could swallow him up.

He is responsible more for the economic crisis we're in than he's willing to admit. See my ACORN special on FOX thread.

Benefit of doubt? For what exactly? Are you suggesting that people not go by what people actually write in their posts? That seems odd. But I guess that's where the gut can be of help?

So you are advocating not assuming while assuming yourself? See this is where the mind can be useful.
Here is a reality check for you - Obama has surrounded himself with incompetent advisors. The Czar appointments are turning out be disasters and he seems to love tax cheats.
What does that have to do with high crimes and misdemeanors?
Every administration has its share of scandal, and every administration draws flak for its actions and decisions. Every president gets some rotten advisors, too.
